Thanks for dropping by here. Great to hear that your kids like to read and save up their money for it. Would be happy to hear from you regarding what types of books they like to read.

Thanks for the kind words.

I have no problem getting my kids to read. My problem is how to get them to stop, esp when they have homework to do. You are right. If we parents don’t read, they are likely not to enjoy reading too.

When my kids were growing up, my idea of babysitting them in the mall was not really the toy shops. I’d bring them to Powerbooks (and now, Fully Booked, which is nearer our home) and they’d sit down on the carpet and read the whole afternoon. Of course, it was cheaper than if I bought the books outright since they’d finish the entire thing in 1 or 2 days (sometimes just hours, for a small book).

My daughters now save up their allowance to buy books. And for special occasions, many times they ask to be given books.

Great site. I will be coming back.
